Milimétrica Coffee — Restaurant in Lima Metropolitan Area

The friendliest cafe I have ever visited (and I've visited a lot!). It might not have the variety of coffees like the Starbuck Roastery in Seattle, but it is a great place to learn about coffee and various brewing techniques. Freshest coffee in the world (roasted by the cafe itself). Their coffee is a very light roast (Arabica Variety Bourbon or Bourbon/Caturra blend), from Alto Ihuamaca, San Ignacio, Cajamarca, Peru (grown at 1800 meters). I've never experienced a light roast like this. Using my standard Aeropress technique at home (20 grams beans, medium grind, 200 ml water at 180°F, 2 minutes brewing time), the result was an extremely sour brew. By lengthening the brew time (4-8 minutes), grinding fine, and lowering the temperature to 150°F, I was able to get a less sour brew with a fruity taste and even hints of chocolate.

„Cinco estrellas“ for a ridiculously rich-in-flavor cappuccino, by far the best tasted so far in Perú. I still need to head over to RAIZ for comparison but this café and its empleados do their job well, very well! The atmosphere is a 4/5, seating and coziness level could be improved. Product and service are outstanding though. I liked their teas, the coffee is as mentioned top-tier and the tomato-mozarella bagel has no competition whatsoever!! I like the name „Milimétrica“ and one can also grab a bag of beans here. Will come back during my final week in Líma to revisit the experience of savoring a...
